gotta say a 300 here theres a load of people going into this class now and i can understand why; cheap, fast, no trapese, nothing else really compares in my opinion if thats what your looking for. plus the handicap is pretty awesome!

Um, well, in answer to all your questions...

I sail on an Estuary which can be really wide and wavy, or really narrow and flat. we get strong (5knts) of tide, but sometimes flat water. and we get anywhere between 3 and 50+ boats out sailing...

Try a 300 with the small rig! Just like a moth was before it became too much for ordinary mortals: the class is having a resurgence now, so they sell well if you don't get on with it, but to my mind it is the best non-trapezing s/hander ever! Find something with a quicker handicap in that class if you don't believe me....

There's a nipper at my club just bought a Magnum 8, but he spends 1/2 hr upside-down for every 5 mins of sailing, and I'm sorry, that's just not fun!! Before that, one of the best young sailors at my other club got one and lasted a month or so. The Moth is inspiring, but to my mind it's too hard

I have sailed moths if only briefly, there are lots of difererent types of moth the Magnum 5 etc look quite wide and are obviously a very different animal to a modern foiler.

Personaly i wished that i had stoped sailing laser earlyer and moved on to a moth type boat but then i don't mind persivering.
